[lisen6889]

Hi everybody,

This post gives information about weapon damage and animal HeathPoints. Enjoy!

1. Weapon Damage, Cost, Accuracy & Quantity per Inventory Slot:

Crude Spear: Damage - 20; Cost - 1 stick; Accuracy - inaccurate; 4 per slot
Refined Spear: Damage - 40; Cost - 1 stick, 1 stone, 1 leather; Accuracy - same to Crude Spear; 4 per slot
Speargun Arrow: Damage - 20; Cost - 1 stick, 1 lashing; Accuracy - accurate; 24 per slot
Bow Arrow: Damage - 20; Cost - 1 stick, 1 stone; Accuracy - Same to Speargun Arrow; 24 per slot

Refined Knife: Damage - 10
Refined Axe: Damage - 20


2. Animal HP:

Tiger Shark: 200 (shark will restore some HP if the battle takes too long)
Black Tip Reef Shark: 150
Marlin: 125
Wild Boar: 80
Stingray: 45
Snake: 40
Crab: 1

3. Other in-game items HP:

Palm Tree: 150 in 0.38 stable; 100 in 0.39 EXP
Palm Bunch: 75
Yucca: 30
Young Palm Tree: 10
Buoyball/Tyre/Barrel Pile: 50


The HealthPoints can be found in the Save File.
Then weapon damage is calculated by testing a certain weapon on different animals and items. I think the above values are quite accurate, but you guys are welcome to verify them anyway.

The method that I measure weapon accuracy is by standing at the same point, then shooting the same object using different weapons. The result shows that bow and speargun only deflect a little hence very accurate; the two weapons have exactly the same accuracy.
Similarly, crude and refined spear have the same accuracy, but they are inaccurate because of the dramatic deflections. The position that spear falls doesn’t agree with the place where you aim, so you have to adjust the crosshair higher even when shooting a medium distanced object.

In the forum I see people asking questions such like the best weapon to kill sharks and etc. I think this may help people to choose their weapon.

Btw, speargun is my favourite!

hello lisen6889 !!!
Excellent information . Congratulations for your post, thanks for sharing

@Akatsukia Thanks mate!


Btw, I'm not able to find HP for the Mission Bosses, but I do have an idea lol.

Here how it works:

Before doing this, you have to make a copy of your save file!!!

1. Preparation: One sleeping bag, one crude spear, some bandages.

2. Find one mission sea fort, for example the Giant Squid. Start the mission, and approach to the squid.

3. Place your sleeping bag on your raft.

4. Spear shot the squid, then immediately go back to your raft and use sleeping bag to save the game and quit the game.

5. Search the HP for the squid in the save file (remember you've spear shot him once, so add 20 points to the HP that you found)

6. Now use the previously copied save file to replace the current save file. Then nothing has changed to your game, and you have the HP for the Giant Squid.


I'm afraid that I can't do this since I've already completed the missions.
Is there anyone who wanna try this?

A matter of style

Which hunting style do you all prefer? From the raft? Underwater? Standing in the shallows?

Missions

Anyone calculated how many spears/arrows are needed for each of the bosses?

Standing in the shadows, but that's because I'm a coward

Hi,

Thanks for adding more information!

But for the damage of Refined Spear, I'm sure it's 40 and it's the most powerful and expensive weapon in the game.

Here is some data:

1. 5 refined spear shots to kill tiger shark (HP 200)
2. 2 refined spear shots to kill boar (HP 80)
3. 1 refined spear shot + 1 refined knife cut to kill stingray (HP 45)

Base damage is 20 it is 40 when it is thrown
